“The Process” at the Cologne Theater: Nobody forces you – culture

Pınar Karabulut saved a special dramaturgical volte for last. One fears that she left out the cathedral chapter and thus the famous doorkeeper parable for reasons of time; because Josef K., the hero of Kafka’s novel, is already dead, stabbed to death by two executioners in a quarry. Looking at the clock: the announced time limit has almost been exhausted. But then, as the fluid cast makes it possible, another Josef K. (Nicola Grundel) appears, and in an epilogue, Lola Klamroth, as the prison chaplain, tells us about the man who wants to go into the “law” but has been prevented from doing so for years by a sarcastic doorkeeper even though the door in question was, it is said, intended exclusively for him.
